You come on here for information and then try to assert that we would show all of our cards online. I'd much rather show each person the issues. Not scare tactics if that's their plan. Just because you don't see it yet means absolutely nothing. Not sure how this is a sh** sandwich when you will now automatically get 10 hours of pay ABOVE guarantee. Some folks are going to do better than others from that, but overall its much better than what we will be transitioning to.
My question is this: if we are at the top of the industry for this LOA regarding DL and iPads what more do you expect to obtain if we send it back? Its top of the industry so far as I can tell.
And before someone blasts me for not coming back on: this is my vacation. Its not easy balancing family, union work, and then adding this site to the mix. I'd much rather be on NKPILOTS.com
Easy man. I don't think I said anything attacking you. This is an anonymous forum. Anyone could have come on here and made the name "Jason Leonard." I think I've seen a "Frank Lorenzo" on here but I highly doubt it's him.
I didn't come here for information. I made my decision based on emails I received with the LOA and the Q&As. I just came here to biatch like the rest of us.
My answer is this: When the company said "we won't discuss iPads without discussing DL" I would have preferred you to say "very well, see you in August." These are separate issues.
As has been stated by others this appears to be overall a concession. It will effect staffing so I don't care about 2 extra hours when it can cause upgrade times and the length of time waiting for a base you want to be in to swell. I don't care that this small fraction of our contract would be "industry leading" when there are so many other sections that are industry lagging. Now doesn't seem to be the right time for this.
